lol I wasnt trying to disprove your point, just to give you some "legitimate" information, followed by sensationalism
sorry
fact is, that guns and mental issues, ARE the problem.
What is the murder rate per capita, what is the suicide per capita, what is the domestic violence death rate per capita.
the guns used in each rate? depression is just ONE tiny part (however important) of mental health problems lol.
Domestic violence has more to do with murders than depression does.

Hmm, how about when you people figure out that the people who are paid to do their jobs aren't, and the people you elect to do fix little problems that we have constantly pointed out dont, or the fact that 54% of American legally own guns and of that number less than .00001% of them actually break the law using guns.

But hey, forget about the couple of million law abiding gun owners, and fuck them over in the name of public safety.

I have used Timothy McVeigh as an example before, and people keep saying it not valid.

What you and everyone else seems to forget, is that Timothy McVeigh, had the legal right to own guns, and did own guns, including at least one AR framed firearm...

What exactly did he use to kill all those people in Oklahoma City again?

You people are perfectly happy with the idea of punishing all gun owners, for the crimes of a few.

That is perfectly alright.

You blindly blame millions for the acts of a very small minority of gun owners, and balk at the blaming of all Muslims for the acts of a minority of that world population.

Its the same fucking logic.


The local law enforcement people did not do their jobs, but it is the fault of the gun owners.

The existing laws are not enforced.

That is the gun owners fault as well.

If the laws are not being enforced now, by those very people paid to enforce them, how the fuck is that the fault of the gun owners?

Guess what dumbass, all those wonderful anti gun liberals you keep electing to get rid of guns supported and passed a law that made it impossible to sue retailers who, in good faith sold a gun or guns to someone that legally could not buy a gun because the database to prevent such a sale is flawed.

Did they pass a law to make the back ground check system use ALL the databases that would have prevented the sale in the first place?

Fuck NO!

There are three crime databases operated by the US Department of Justice, the one used for gun purchase back ground checks is not mandatory for state or local law enforcement to participate in, but the other two are.

Those other two databases has all the information that would prevent gun sales to those individuals by law from buying a gun in the first place.

That was point one.

Point two:

By federal law, any individual under investigation for any felony crime (crimes punishable by more than a year in jail) is prohibited from possessing or purchasing a firearm until 1) they are cleared of all charges prior to going to trial, or b) are found not guilty in court, which means that the cops are supposed to seize and store any guns the person might own until 1 or 2 happens.

If a restraining order is filed on someone, they have to seize and store said weapons and if the order is not rescinded, dispose of said weapons.

And if you notice, BamaD, the one poster who screams so loudly about registration leading to confiscation, actually pointed that out twice, proving that a gun owner is perfectly okay with guns being confiscated when the laws are broke.

A fact you might want to consider when the truth is that all gun owners actually agree with that law.

I would not say that mass shooting are the wave of the future, but societal violence may be, regardless of weapons of choice.

Consider the following:

It is proven that the higher population density is directly related to higher violent crimes.

There are small towns all over the United States that, when you consider the number of private guns in the hands of citizens, have not had a gun related crime in decades (kind of throwing the private gun ownership = gun crime argument out of the water) however when you look at high density urban areas, gun related crimes and violent crimes across the board actually exceed the national average.

And some of these cities have some pretty strict gun ordinances.

And that is just a statistical analysis.

No one has actually sat down to do an actual study on the relationship between population density and violent crimes, just the blanket statement that more people equal more crime.

So, this leads me to my question:

Why is it that small towns with nearly 100% of the people owning guns seem to go decades with out a gun related crime, but large cities with a lower percentage of citizens owning guns cant go 12 hours without someone shooting someone?


Of course, there is this interesting tidbit.....

And then from the Of course there is this as well

I wonder if the pro gun crowd on these boards will ever get tired of defending the gun ownership laws in this country? Just one nut killing after another and all they can think about is their toys... It is sickening and I am beginning to think they are just as insane as those killing women and children.

Marini talking to these assholes is not going to change their selfish minds. Pointing out the absurdity of their stand on guns is sadly a waste of time

I wonder if any of the anti gun nuts are going to admit that we don't enforce the laws we already have and adding more isn't going to stop this. Ok I don't wonder that, it was a lie. I know the assholes don't really care about the folks being killed. They just want to use this to further their own agendas. But I agree, it is sickening.



It is not the anti gun people that are not enforcing the laws...Here, in Republican dominated Missouri, many county and state officials refuse to follow existing laws... they even proposed a state law that would imprison federal agents for up to 1 year if they tried to enforce federal law in the state of Missouri. Thank heavens we had a Democratic governor then that vetoed it.

Then LETS DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! Lets get killing guns out of the hands of the insane... who is ignoring THAT! Nearly one in every five gun owners is mentally ill to one extent or another... lets at least try to weed out the dangerous among them and get mass killing weapons out of their possession.

Why is it after all the posts I've made and others that you cannot understand some of us are not advocating taking all your guns away... We just want killing weapons removed or altered as they were under the 1994 law...and we want all gun owners to have to take periodical mental evaluations for ownership along with comprehensive required weapons training for your weapons.

This is a far cry from say the UK and completely disarming America... Just sensible laws that would at least curtail some of these mass shootings.

Mass Murder DOES NOT and SHOULD NOT be the wave of the futrue.

How many thousand dollars do you want to charge people for owning guns?
Those periodic evaluations don't come cheap. So by your rules only the rich
own guns. Then doctors will also goin knowing that they will be better off
stopping 1000 people who aren't a threat than letting one through that
commits a crime so that is just a backdoor method of banning ownership.
The guns that look like assault weapons ban had know effect on crime.

The last 2 shootings both were because the government screwed up.
Local law enforcement in Ca and NICS in Tx and your answer is that the more
the government screws up the more control they should have.
You forget also that half of the people in Ca who were killed with
knives and a car.

Bama if you want to own weapons that can kill then yes i want you to pay the price to have some assurance of sanity... I do understand your objections for obvious reasons.

given that there are so many other ways/means/methods/devices/situations, etc out there that cause death more than guns---that the left constantly goes ballistic, no pun intended, over gun deaths, tells me something else really is going on.

I don't know about you but I think it wise to attempt to curtail all means of mass murder...And it is not only silly to ignore any one type of mass killing because of another but selfish and criminal.

its really not an answer to my point.

no one is suggesting ignoring means of murder or mass murder. im not making an either/or proposition.

im suggesting that since the left makes so much fuss about guns in particular when it comes to murder, when there are so many other ways that they don't fuss over, that something else is likely going on as concerns guns.

I don't doubt for a moment the sincere depth of feeling that rails against the loss of innocent life---but theres still something else.

How many times have you seen the gun grabbers on here argue that the
.223 is more powerful than a 30-06 0r .308 and for that reason alone
should be banned. They argue from a position of ignorance.
